Very good condition. No interior writing or highlighting. Some coverwear. Emerging Pests And Vector-Borne Diseases In Europe: Ecology and Control of Vector-borne Diseases (Hardcover) By Takken, William; Knols, G.J. Product Details : The field of vector control has not kept pace with advances in drugs and vaccines, despite knowledge that control disrupts disease transmission, according to medical and/or veterinary entomologists Takken and Knols (Wageningen U., The Netherlands). International experts with extensive laboratory experience and field work introduce two dozen chapters in this debut volume of a new series treating such pressing issues as the spread of malaria to Europe (with an assist from changing climate, land use, and transport patterns) and the European emergence, surveillance, and control of the carriers of novel diseases such as bluetongue virus, tick-borne encephalitis, and Usutu virus. The volume includes photos of pests, distribution maps, and summary tables of potential vectors.
